Hey just a warning (comment I left on another one of these videos as well) when I owned the game for a bit it quickly became obvious that the AI has unlimited resources (my guess is the only thing that’s limiting them is some form of ship count limiter so they can’t hit you with a stack of 4 BB’s) but apart from that they can and will throw task forces at you constantly with no heed for battle points and the only way to beat them is to kill every single ship in that certain class. Stay strong and keep them back! As as soon as I lost one battle it snowballed and I completely lost control of the situation 😔

4:57 The AI seems to favor heavy cruisers a lot, in Tortuga's American campaign the Japanese are also running out of heavy cruisers. I actually like the duality of your campaigns, your campaign is basically if IJN doctrine had worked while Tortuga's is if American doctrine were even more effective.

​@@Wolfpack345 Yeah, the game isn't bad for a studio the size of Killerfish Games, but just based off of watching yours and Tortuga's streams I can definitely see areas of improvement: -The AI can definitely be better, although I don't want to harp too much on this since good AI is like the holy grail of gaming and even large, talented, and well funded studios can have trouble nailing down the AI. -Aircraft should be available in larger numbers on both carriers and airfields, but the tradeoff should be that aircraft should have to be resupplied by convoy to outlying airfields. Maybe make spare aircraft a resource that drops only once per week at your home base like oil/supply/troops. Carriers already have to resupply at port, I imagine the only reason their airwing is so limited is for balancing reasons. -Remove the dumb 1-hour cooldown on tactical engagements obviously -The game seems to be happening entirely too fast, the actual Guadalcanal campaign took 6 months, but at the rate yours and Tortuga's games are going the opposing navy won't have any ships in 3 weeks! I think that perhaps reducing the damage slightly that everything does, whilst putting a cap on how much damage can be repaired even if a compartment isn't "blacked" could force ships to return for repairs more often. Also, adding transit times when a ship is requisitioned or released (1-2 weeks excluding starting surface force) and making it so reloading/refueling isn't instant could also stretch the campaign out to a more realistic length. Likewise, the AI shouldn't be able to constantly summon new ships, but perhaps every week have a set amount of command points added so the AI can't be neutered in the opening days of the campaign. Perhaps replacing the command point awards with a weekly system and a system that rewards capturing and holding objectives would also keep it from being a sink-the-navy simulator. I do recognize that Killerfish may have purposefully made it shorter like this to keep the focus on the action. -While this may horribly unbalance the game, I would like to see PT boats added since they were historically used in the Solomons campaign.

I think the most glaring problem with the depth charges is that they always go to the correct depth. Even when you adjust, they seem to adjust to go off at the new correct depth. Also, aircraft flying back over the path of AA fire really needs to be updated. You should be able to put an "attack" and "exit" path or direction for them.

Actually Truk did have the facilities to effect quite significant repairs because Akashi was stationed there. In fact when IJN Harusame was torpedoed by USS Wahoo she was towed to Truk where she had a false bow both manufactured and fitted by IJN Akashi for the trip back to Japan so they were capable of at least that level of repairs.

In the case of the Kuma, it would probably have headed back to Truk and then back to Honshu for proper repairs.

Dive-bombing from "the side" makes most sense, because you actually "see more surface area" and thus have a better chance of hitting. Additionally your three bombs are side-by-side and are released at the same second, so they deviate sideways from each other, which kinda makes it "one hit at best" for a head-on bombing run. Strafing might make more sense from an almost-head-on angle, because this allows you to "run along the ship" and it might even limit some AA fire arcs.

here is an idea for a task force: 2x Shokaku CV (double airstrikes - 24 bombers in one tactical battle) 2x Tone CA (12 spotting planes, each with 1000km endurance) 2-6x Akizuki DD (destroyers literally built for AA support, also are pretty large in tight formations can serve as sacrificial ship for incoming torps) you´ll get so much air traffic over the ocean you will literally see enemy convoys 300km+ away from Rennel Island and Shokakus kill whatever they set planes upon. Did this yesterday and was amazed how much map control i had. was just covering for a single convoy swinging on the map like a pendulum :D

I actually have been thinking about my future task forces and this is almost exactly what I had in mind. I was going to take: Shokaku Zuikaku x1 Tone class (Probably Chikuma) x3-4 Akizuki DD It is still an expensive formation. I want to flesh out my surface task forces a bit more and then I will get this CTF and go on the offensive a bit more.

usually to make sure that my submarine safely escape, is start the leave countdown right after firing my torpedo, so by the time that the count down reach 0 the target usually already sinking and the enemy destroyer didnt have much chance to drop their dept charges. knowing that wolfpack really like thing as realistic as possible I doubt he will use this trick but who knows

I think that a big challenge late game for the IJN is the massive US destroyer fleet. The US has so many they probably can't realistically run out.

First, loving the series. Tremendous quality work on your part. The game has a lot of issues for sure. They need to hire Drachinifel for some staff work because he would point out that casemate guns (152mm) are NOT DP guns. (They can't get the elevation to engage aircraft). The game may say they are, but they were not on the real ship. The upper deck guns (listed as 127mm) ARE DP guns, so that part is correct. Here is a wiki page as well. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kong%C5%8D-class_battlecruiser Keep up the good work!

The AI is so dumb in this game. I also play as the IJN and is at 21st of August and have probably sunk close to 200 enemy ships soon with few losses of my own. Got both carriers deployed, pretty much all my heavy cruisers and both Yamato-class battleships as well as 2 Kongo-class battleships. I'm dominating the seas.

Very good idea to attack the freighters; they take most of cargo and troops. The freighters are much to heavily armed.

Truk would be a very spot on guess as that would be the likely location unless the IJN Repair ship Akashi could pull it off which would be unlikely in the Kuma's case... and if Truk was not capable then they would likely pull her into a dry dock back in Yokosuka....

This game is so great but they need to update the effects to make it top tier. If this game had ships breaking in half, debris flying off with hits as well as reworked smoke and fire it would be top notch.
